Description

The MT-09 naked sports roadster has taken the next step in its evolution. Heading an impressive list of changes for 2017 is the addition of confidence inspiring ABS brakes, all- new super aggressive "twin eye" LED headlights and a revised fully adjustable 41 mm inverted fork thanks to the addition of compression damping adjustment. The one thing that didn't change is the incredible 847 cc, 3 cylinder engine that is guaranteed to put a grin on your face every time you twist the throttle.

Brakes: ABS equipped brakes feature dual 298 mm discs with 4-piston calipers up front and a 245 mm disc with single piston caliper in the rear providing peace of mind while braking under pressure or in wet conditions.

Style: The MT-09 features an aggressively styled twin-eye headlight assembly that gives this best-selling naked sport a more menacing look. The slanting dual headlights are equipped with four LED bulbs, accompanied by dual LED positioning lights.

Lightweight "coupling force balancer" is used to reduce engine vibration for excellent rider comfort: lower end "cap" of the rod is made from the same piece of material as the upper portion; the 2 pieces are "split" apart using a special fracturing process & then machined; design aids in establishing true big end roundness & greater precision in con rod dimensions for excellent durability despite the high horsepower loads.

"Fracture split" connecting rods feature a "nut less" design: lower end "cap" of the rod is made from the same piece of material as the upper portion; the 2 pieces are "split" apart using a special fracturing process & then machined; design aids in establishing true big end roundness & greater precision in con rod dimensions for excellent durability despite the high horsepower loads.

Offset cylinder design: cylinder is "offset" relative to the crank (toward exhaust side); reduces frictional losses between the pistons and the cylinder wall during the power stroke for improved power output

Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T): YCC-T electronically controls throttle valves for outstanding throttle response & controllability; YCC-T system provides precise control of intake air volume for a smoother torque curve; ECU that controls YCC-T is capable of responding to changes at a speed of 1000th of a second

Yamaha D-Mode variable throttle control ... 3 modes available: enables the rider to adjust the performance characteristics of the engine based on riding preferences or riding conditions; standard mode emphasizes very linear throttle & torque feel of the engine; A mode allows the rider to enjoy even sportier engine performance in the low to mid rpms; B Mode reduces throttle response for riding situations that require softer power characteristics, such as slippery or wet conditions; D-Mode button is conveniently located on the RHS handle bar switch gear

Flat design radiator with new side scoops: protector plate on lower edge of rad prevents small stones from hitting the rad & cooling fan; new side scoops direct air into rad plus adds a styling protector plate on lower edge of rad prevents small stones from hitting the rad & cooling fan

ABS equipped, 245 mm rear disc squeezed by a lightweight single piston, slide-type Nissin caliper: ABS controlling ECU & hydraulic unit are combined into a single compact unit to reduce weight & centralize mass; when ABS system senses impending wheel lock-up (via active type wheel sensors) it regulates hydraulic braking pressure to the point just before the wheel or wheels lock-up; ABS benefits include; excellent control under hard braking or when braking on wet, slippery or loose surfaces

Anti-lock braking system (ABS): ABS controlling ECU & hydraulic unit are combined into a single compact unit to reduce weight & centralize mass; when ABS system senses impending wheel lock-up (via active type wheel sensors) it regulates hydraulic braking pressure to the point just before the wheel or wheels lock-up; ABS benefits include; excellent control under hard braking or when braking on wet, slippery or loose surfaces

Super aggressive, LED "twin eye" headlights with LED position lights: compact LED twin headlights (2 - LEDs per headlight); on low beam the inner 2 - LEDs illuminate; on high beam all 4 - LEDs illuminate; LED position lighting below the main twin eye lights (3 - LEDs per strip); LEDs have a much longer service life Vs. conventional bulbs & also use less power; LED lighting compliments MT-09's aggressive, lightweight "naked roadster styling"

4 - LED tail light with unique running / brake light display.

Forged aluminum, swingarm mounted rear fender & license plate holder.
